Season-al update 2: Post-summer in the cities

If you’ve been paying attention to some of the more talked-about dramatic productions in New York in the past couple of years, but haven’t been able to travel to see them, the regional Boston theaters have really got you covered next season. Many acclaimed non-musicals – some still on Broadway, in fact – are on the 2012-2013 schedules.

— SpeakEasy Stage Company’s 22nd season, just announced this weekend, starts off at the Boston Center for the Arts with a show whose title I can’t completely reproduce: “The MotherF**ker with the Hat,” Stephen Adly Guirgis’ 2011 Tony nominee for Best Play about love, fidelity and facing one’s demons, which will run Sept. 14-Oct. 13. The company, known for area premieres, continues Oct. 19-Nov. 17 with the New England debut of “Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson,” a musical about the life of “Old Hickory.” Then there’s the regional premiere of “Other Desert Cities,” Jon Robin Baitz’s story (still playing in New York) of a secretive family upended by a daughter’s plan to write a memoir, Jan. 11-Feb. 9; “Clybourne Park,” the 2011 Pulitzer Prize winner that tells a story about race and real estate inspired by “A Raisin in the Sun, starting March 1; and, starting May 3, the Latin-flavored musical “In the Heights,” about following your dreams. Information: 617-482-3279 or www. www.SpeakEasyStage.com. (Subscriptions and group sales available; single tickets go on sale in August.)

— Huntington Theatre Company has some new and some classic plays in its line-up, including – intriguingly — “A Raisin in the Sun” running at the same time as “Clybourne Park” at SpeakEasy. The opener is “Good People,” David Lindsay-Abaire’s story of a sharp-tongued single mom in Southie that was another 2011 hit, running Sept. 14-Oct. 14; then “Now or Later,” a timely political drama by Christopher Shinn about the crisis caused by the son of a Presidential candidate (hey, Mitt Romney has five sons…), Oct. 12-Nov. 10; and Harold Pinter’s “Betrayal,” Nov. 9-Dec. 9. David Cromer won much acclaim for his reimagining of Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town” and he and his version will be in Boston for a Dec. 7-Jan. 13 run. That will be followed by “Invisible Man,” adapted by Oren Jacoby from Ralph Ellison’s novel about an African-American’s search for his place in the world, Jan. 4-Feb. 3. “A Raisin in the Sun,” about a family divided over how to use an insurance payment, runs March 8-April 7.

Ryan Landry, a mainstay of Provincetown summers, will debut his stage version of the classic Fritz Lang film “M,” about a child killer who is brought to justice by the criminal underworld, March 29-April 27. Then the Huntington season will conclude May 24-June 22, 2013 with “Rapture, Blister, Burn,” a new comedy by Gina Gionfriddo (“Becky Shaw”) about college friends who covet each other’s lives. Subscriptions are on sale now: 617-266-0800 or huntingtontheatre.org/subscribe and group orders are now available. Individual tickets for all shows will go on sale in August.

— Looking for something completely new? As often happens, American Repertory Theater can oblige. As its 2012-2013 season opener in the fall, A.R.T. will premiere David Adjmi’s “Marie Antoinette” in a co-production with Yale Repertory Theatre. A press release refers to this version of the historic tale as “humorous and haunting” as France’s people head to revolution. Adjmi is known as the author of Off-Broadway’s “Elective Affinities,” a monologue performed by Zoe Caldwell that A.R.T. says was the hottest ticket in New York last fall, and “Stunning.” Rebecca Taichman, who will be directing, also directed Adjmi’s “The Evildoers” at Yale Rep in 2008. Also at A.R.T. in December will be artistic director Diane Paulus’ reimagining of Stephen Schwartz’s musical “Pippin.” Choreography will be by Gypsy Snider of the Montreal-based circus company Les 7 doigts de la main, also known as 7 Fingers. No specific dates and the full season haven’t yet been announced.

— And if you’re looking for musicals, you can check out Providence Performing Arts Center. There are some crossovers in its 2012-13 season with the Broadway in Boston season previously announced, but not as many as you might think. In fact, two national tours are starting in Providence and not even stopping in Boston: “Catch Me If You Can” and “Elf.” Here’s the whole line-up: “Jersey Boys,” Aug. 15-Sept. 2; “Catch Me If You Can,” a musical based on the story of an ultimate young con man, Oct. 7-14; “Elf,” Nov. 4-10, based on the Will Ferrell movie that has become a holiday staple; “Fiddler on the Roof,” Nov. 23-25; “Memphis,” about a white deejay who falls in love with a black singer in the 1960s, Dec. 4-9; a reworking of the musical “Jekyll & Hyde,” starring Constantine Maroulis (of “American Idol” and “Rock of Ages” fame), Jan. 1-6; “Million Dollar Quartet,” about what might have happened during a big night in rock ‘n’ roll history, Jan. 15-20; “Sister Act,” based on the Whoopi Goldberg hiding-in-a-convent movie, April 9-14; “Peter Pan,” starring Cathy Rigby,” April 26-28; and “War Horse,” June 5-9;

On tap for next season: The Civilians from New York performing “Paris Commune,” Sept. 20-21; Les 7 doigts de la main from Montreal (yes, the one with the choreographer for A.R.T.’s “Pippin”), with “Sequence 8,” Sept. 27-Oct. 7; “Hamlet” from Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London, Oct. 9-14; “La Belle et La Bete” by Lemieux Pilon 4Dart in Montreal, Dec. 5-9; a U.S. production of “The Servant of Two Masters,” Jan. 29-Feb. 3; “Metamorphosis” by Vesturport Theatre and Lyric Hammersmith Theatre from Iceland and London, Feb. 27-March 3; “Neva” by Guillermo Calderon of Chile; and “Trojan women (After Euripides)” by SITI Company in New York, April 17-20.
